Re: S950 won't save samples.

2013-01-22 by J Killah

Try to save an half second sample, if the drive can save it the problem is in the media, try a new floppy (buy some) if not the problem is the FDD, maybe disalligned heads or is diyng. 

the let is ok, red for the orignal FDD in both sampler (red 950 / orange 1100)

I am able to save a template program with new name, keygroups, etc... but when I try to save samples, I hear the disk drive whirring normally for a few seconds and then "OOPS! Bad data from disk" appears.  I was able to save samples in the past until now.  I tried saving to both DD and HD disks.  I get the same result from both.
